Beyond the "An Icon Reborn" message and the name of the device, the post doesn't reveal any other details.。
However, putting on our detective hats, we can piece together a few things. First, the Key is almost definitely a successor to last year's KeyOne.。
The KeyOne was surprisingly refreshing because it felt like the anti-smartphone. As the guy who reviewed the phone for Mashable, I was pretty impressed. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
It's chunky, but sleek. It has a physical QWERTY keyboard at a time when no other phone maker includes one on their devices. The camera is pretty good (for a BlackBerry), battery life is solid, and it runs full Android.。

How can the Key 2 improve on the KEYone? Well, the specs need to be upgraded and dual cameras would be a welcome addition. 。
Oh, whoa, what's this? This is the internet and there are already leaks that might show us what the Key 2 looks like before the announcement next month? Of course there are. 。
TENAA, the Chinese regulatory organization that provides certification for devices before they're sold, posted several images of what appears to be the Key 2:

So, yeah, the BlackBerry Key 2 is coming. Any questions? Let's be real, it's probably going to be a decent phone, but do you really need a QWERTY keyboard? Does anyone really want it in 2018? We shall see. 。
